With the new luggage policy in place, the Himachal Road Transport Corporation (HRTC) has experienced a rise in revenue. “September of this year brought in Rs 80 lakh as opposed to Rs 64 lakh in September of last year. A 25% rise has occurred,” said Rohan Thakur, Managing Director, HRTC.
With the new luggage policy in place, the Himachal Road Transport Corporation (HRTC) has experienced a rise in revenue.
Revenue has increased, despite the fact that many routes in the Kullu district were shut down in September, he continued. However, Thakur acknowledged that there was considerable ambiguity regarding the baggage fee, particularly in the Mandi and Kangra sectors. “The Shimla division has had the biggest revenue rise and increase. In the Mandi and Kangra divisions, the impact of the new baggage ban has not increased much. Through advertising and our inspections, we will address it,” Thakur said.

Regarding allegations that the rules had changed, Thakur claimed that nothing had changed other than the fact that a person could now carry a sizable apple box without paying any price. A person was allowed to transport an apple box weighing up to 10 kg for free, according to the regulations. He no longer needs to pay to deliver a standard apple box, he continued.
